Fenghua Thousand-Layer Cake (奉化千层饼) is a crisp, layered snack associated with Xikou (溪口) in Fenghua (奉化), Ningbo (宁波). Original food reporting describes golden cakes whose layered texture remains central to both traditional production and newer desserts.
Several stages of handwork
A China Ningbo News (中国宁波网) account describes more than ten processes at Jiang Family Longmen (蒋家龙门), including steaming flour, making filling, mixing the dough, enclosing the filling, rolling the cakes and attaching them for baking.
A family craft in new desserts
China Food Safety News (中国食品安全报) traces this brand to 1916 and describes fourth-generation successor Jiang Xiayi (蒋夏怡) returning to the family business. She combines crisp thousand-layer cake fragments with ice cream. China Ningbo News also records a cake latte, extending the same snack into coffee as well as dessert.
